welcome to my unboxing of the Philco magic touch to camouflage 10 keyless so what does 10 keyless mean it means this is an 87 key keyboard it is short here even like a generic keyboard it's like shorter T shorter so 10 keyless is for people who want space savings and don't necessarily need a full number pad well or a number pad at all alright so what do we got inside the box first thing we find is a manual that doesn't appear to have a word of English on it sweet ah there it is yes handling a keyboard when you're using a keyboard dropping or any kinds of activities may lead to accidents please keyboard on a secure flat surface when in use the keyboard is an electrical device that contains circuits and transformers do not expose the keyboard to water or any other liquid excellent good advice adopting MX which is Cherry MX which is our mechanical switches developed by Zenith electronics corporation Germany key travel is four millimeters deeper than comparative models the actuation point is located at two millimeters from the top when pressed down this keyboard uses individual Cherry MX switches that give you light touch typing ok so mechanical keyboards if you guys don't know this already they are 100 billion times better and this is all sort of my own personal opinion then keyboards that are not mechanical because they are significantly more comfortable they are significantly more satisfying to use because of the awesome noises that they make and I can guarantee you like I will put my personal - guarantee of approval on the concept that they will make you type faster almost everyone I've ever encountered know everyone I've ever encountered it's a guarantee has sat down in front of a mechanical keyboard started to use it and realized after a short period of time that they are typing faster on it and we're talking significantly maybe 10 maybe 15 20 % faster than you can on a membrane keyboard even if it's a really good brain switch keyboard so let's keep on going with this guy right here so this one uses Terry black switches so the black switches are actually here there's a key remover so I'm going to show you guys what exactly is the dealio with the names of the various cherry switches the cherian X that is the brand of switches that are used and then there okay this is a very interesting hold on alpha I'll figure it I was like so you put it under the thing and then probably from okay he's laughing at me now because I think you're supposed to go this way um so this is a key removal tool and not not the awesomest one that I've ever seen there that is what makes this a cherry MX black the fact that the actual switch right there is black so the characteristics of black is that they had a linear less tactile feel so you don't feel that that click that sort of that spring that that's uh you don't really hear the noise as well other than the key bottoming out so if you put the camera close you can actually hear if I don't bottom them out they're quite quiet they don't have that they don't have that loudness that is associated with mechanical keyboards however it's still going to be louder to type on then a membrane keyboard just because most membrane keyboards aren't built very well and has a nice solid backplane that you're going to be landing on if you're typing with any kind of force whatsoever so I'm going to pull off a few more key caps here this is probably the faster wave to it versus that tool that's the worst tool I've ever seen for removing key caps not but I'm like criticizing or anything but that's sort of not yeah not ideal and we're going to replace the WASD keys with the included WASD Keys let's have a look at the layout layout is for me the the deal maker or the deal breaker of any mechanical keyboard and it can be the difference between a keyboard that I love to type on but I absolutely hate and a keyboard that I hate that type on but I absolutely have to use because there's no getting away from it this has my favorite possible layout no changes long shift key long shift key long in turkey long backspace key no long delete key awesome I absolutely love it in every possible way you've got a function key here instead of a Windows key I personally consider this to be a boon for gamers because I don't think I put those on all the way there we go a boon for gamers because you're a lot less likely to be bothered if you accidentally hit a function key because then you'll have to like accidentally also hit like f3 to mute your audio like what a what are the freaking odds yeah um whereas if you have a Windows key here that could potentially bother you however I actually use the Windows key so having a Hardware switch to turn it off because I often forget to turn it back on it's really annoying because I'll actually press on it I want like the menu to come up or I want to cycle through my windows using Windows tab and I can't so there you go Windows key function key it does have arrow keys however you notice the number pad is missing everything else is pretty normal the one thing that you'll notice is missing so still got your scroll lock and it still got your caps lock buttons are lights but it doesn't have a number lock button which makes sense because there is no number pad ha keys are labeled on the tops although Philco does have a ton of options for keyboards we're actually going to be taking a look at a fair number of their keyboards they have lots of different colors of keyboards lots of different colors of switches lots of different configurations in terms of the actual layouts of the keyboards they are one of the most varied keyboard manufacturers out there but the one thing they all have in common is they all use high-quality built and they all use high quality switches so let's just take a quick look at the rest of the physical attributes of the of the cammo keyboard here which actually I was expecting to look kind of cheeseball but it actually looks kind of cool okay so you got a flip up here which will allow you to tilt the keyboard a little bit can see again just build quality the weight of it the proper rubber that's used on it it's not going to go anywhere no matter how hard you mash on it we've also got rubber here here here and here and you're part number in your serial number on the bottom in case you need it for any particular reason so I think that pretty much comes down to it pretty much comes down to what your personal taste is in terms of the look the layout the switches and what you're more what you like best so in general blacks are considered more of a gaming key switch as opposed to a typist key switch so depending what you use your computer for you might want to go with a different skew however I don't think most typists are going to be interested in the camo the camel sort of look so it's probably appropriate that they used to gaming switch on this model thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at Philco z-- Magisto camel ten kilos don't forget to subscribe to - tech tips and don't forget it also includes a ps2 adapter in camo green and these keyboards all include and key rollover I think well I think it's like hold on to say yes it does have full and key rollover means you can press as many keys as you want and you won't run into any difficulty also I've been informed by slick who's actually more of a keyboard nerd than I am that this is apparently better than prying them off with your fingers because if you do with your fingers you can apply pressure in the wrong way you can accidentally damage the switch so that's why they have this tool which seems goofy to me but apparently it's for a reason there you have it thank you for watching
